Date formatting with calendar

I am trying to get the calendar to output in the D/M/Y format for my date fields (eg 30/5/2009). I've updated the oxf.xforms.format.input.date accordingly however that only formats the date when an existing form is loaded or a default date is specified for a new form submission. When I click on the calendar icon (either using jscalendar or yui), the date selected in the calendar is actually July 5, 2011 (looks like it's adding 30 months to January of the specified year). And when I select a new date from the calendar, it populates the date field in the D/M/Y format. How can I get the calendar to output in the D/M/Y format and to recognize that format when updating a date?

I double checked, and the code is in. I also did a quick test adding <property as="xs:string" name="oxf.xforms.format.input.date" value="[D]/[M]/[Y]"/> to my properties-local.xml and the date controls are working fine in the controls example (http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-controls/).

This was checked in on May 18, 2009. Are you using a nightly build after this date, or 3.7.1?

This code should definitely be in 3.7.1. Could you attach to your response an example that shows the problem, with some instructions on how to reproduce this? I must be really testing something different, as this is working quite well for me here.
